NSTAR/M+W Group: Principles to Driving Our Core Values:- EH&S requires both Robust Systems and a Leadership Safety Culture. “Strong systems and Culture result in safe conditions and safe behaviors.”
- Within our culture each person leads and serves his/her co-workers by example (safe work performance).
- We will promote the sharing of skills and information (transparency) related to EH&S.
- We must create a climate of courage where it is acceptable to openly challenge unsafe conditions and behavior.
- All personnel (managers, supervisors, employees, and contractors) positively challenge unsafe conditions and behavior.
NSTAR is committed to providing our employees with the appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, shoes and respirators. | |
